Good thing they are having the avionics issues with the new helicopters... because its a known fact, if the crew is complaining, with no other arguments, nothing would be done. I've flown at NTC and hotter places in UH-60s with all windows shut (injured patients onboard), wearing armor and survival equipment, and our complaints haven't even gotten us the cooling vests... drink water and drive on, they say. Hell we still have to wear winter weight boots because they're the only ones authorized for flying.
And the Army wonders why retention is so low?
